[Lawyer Accountability]

We recently received a bill from a lawyer we had used shortly before we joined a monthly legal service. 

Our former lawyer, thinking that she was still our lawyer, received some correspondence and charged us for her time.

The bill looked a little like this:

1. Received letter –  15 minutes — $70.00
2. Drafted response –  6 minutes   — $28.00
3. Brief communication with lawyer – 10 minutes  — $32.00

I Googled, “Lawyer Accountability” today.

The page was slow; I thought it was going to come up blank.

But, finally, here is what I got:

Lawyer Accountability: ​The legal profession is largely self-regulated, which makes it difficult for bad lawyers to be held accountable to their clients. … Lawyers claim that they need not be subject to such regulations because they are held accountable by various state Bar rules governing attorney conduct. (from responsivelaw.org)

Now, as members, we pay a small monthly fee.

The monthly fee equals approximately what some lawyers charges for 5 minutes of their time.

Members get advice, phone calls, and letters drafted — whatever is needed to resolve an issue.

Approximately one hour of a lawyer’s time = approximately what you pay per year for membership in

It’s smart, it’s easy…and it’s self-regulated — by you.

Please contact us for the best monthly legal protection out there.

[ Coffee & Legal Issues ]

Coffee ~ a good thing.
Legal Issues ~  not so much.

 

If you love buying coffee drinks at Starbucks —

You’re not alone.

Many people — like me — grab their Blonde Flat Whites or their Caramel Lattes or their Frappucinos, spending an average minimum of around $3.00 per day.

Coffee, to many of us, seems like an essential.

So is legal help —  when you need it.

You can be a good person, obeying the speed limit and following the rules.

Then, suddenly, you need a lawyer.

One day, we were minding our own business — just drinking our coffee.

Then, suddenly — we needed a lawyer.  We didn’t have legal protection at the time.  We ended up paying a few thousand dollars for phone help and a few letters drafted on our behalf.

Charged by the hour, legal services can really add up.

Here in the United States, small town attorneys generally charge between $100 and $200 per hour. Attorneys working in small to medium cities charge between $200 to $400. Attorneys working in NYC are the highest-paid, with an average hourly rate of over $700 per hour.

You got your $3 a day coffee.

Would you pay a mere $1 a day for legal help?

The legal protection company we work with is one of the fastest growing companies of its kind.  There’s no one else like it.

For a low monthly rate (around $1 / day) you can have legal help at the touch of an app.

• You can get a will drafted for free when you’re a member.
• The excellent lawyers can draft letters for you, help you retrieve money back from scammers, or encourage a customer to pay her bill.
• These lawyers will review your legal documents — up to 15 pages.
• The high quality lawyers with this legal protection company are real people. 
• The lawyers are local to your area. You won’t be speaking with an attorney based in Antarctica.

Someone told us that signing up for monthly legal protection is a no-brainer.

We lift our mochas high and give a hearty toast to that.

Please contact us for more information and sign up for legal protection & peace of mind today.
